# UK PSTI Product Security PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow Guide

UK PSTI Product Security guidance for PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow, with practical decisions, evidence, edge cases, and external source citations.

*Artifact Guide* *UK* *PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow*

## UK PSTI Product Security PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow

PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow decisions under UK PSTI Product Security should be written in operational language: who is in scope, what must happen, what evidence proves it, and when escalation is needed.

Use this guide to turn official requirements into scope, evidence, owner, and review decisions. This guidance is practical, source-linked, and should be validated against current legal and policy requirements before implementation.

This page explains the UK PSTI scope-classifier workflow: how to decide whether a product is in scope, who owns each step, what evidence to capture, and when to escalate the decision. Use it to produce a clear, auditable output for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and their compliance teams.

## How should a PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow run under UK PSTI Product Security?

Run the workflow as PSTI product triage: scope the product, classify the role, verify the three security requirements, approve the statement, and prepare OPSS-response evidence.

A product is in scope if it is a relevant connectable product - that is, an internet-connectable product or a network-connectable product that is not an excepted product. The regime applies to manufacturers, importers, and distributors, and also creates duties for authorised representatives in some cases.

- Capture the request, product, role, data flow, jurisdiction, and deadline.
- Check the source-linked rule and route exceptions before implementation.
- Record the action taken, owner, reviewer, evidence location, and next review date.
- Keep a plain-language output that support, product, legal, security, and compliance teams can all understand.

## What fields should the PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow template capture?

A useful template captures product identifiers, responsible economic operator, security requirement evidence, support-period wording, statement approver, importer/distributor checks, and review trigger.

- Source URL and source quote.
- Entity, product, service, system, data category, and user group.
- Decision result, control action, owner, reviewer, due date, and escalation reason.
- Evidence attachment, approval note, exception note, and review cadence.

## How should teams review and improve the PSTI Scope Classifier Workflow?

Review the workflow after firmware changes, supplier changes, product bundling changes, UK market placement changes, vulnerability reports, OPSS notices, or support-period updates.

- Track recurring exception categories and update intake questions.
- Remove fields that never affect the decision.
- Add fields when reviews show missing source evidence or unclear ownership.
- Confirm generated markdown and page content include the same visible source-linked guidance.
